lol, well, I'm at the age where that's gonna start impacting me soon I guess. I'm not sure that my issue with online interactions like this is as much related to general bitchery as it is the distinct inability to let someone make a point. Either this guy hated your point, judged you based on something random, or just genuinely cannot see the forest for the trees. In any case, it's infuriating to me. Your point was that technology, given enough time, makes inconceivable things real. Any moron could see this if they tried. Both through observation in the world and by reading what you wrote. But somehow none of that mattered. Just the fact that they thought your examples were subpar could possibly matter. (btw they weren't, they illustrated the point just fine). Being crotchety is something I'm no stranger to and it's often unpleasant. But focusing on shit that doesn't matter in order to make another person "wrong" is some pointless bullshit. It's not even pedantry. It's something else, imo.
